Release Notes 1234.5678.02 - 01 6
1.3 Version 4.20.028.58
Released May 2018, microwave instruments only (SMB-B112 and up)
New functionality
Support of RF board 1406.8903.01 / .02
Support of step attenuator 1412.5431.01 / .02 / .08
Security: New Volatile Mode redirects user data to non-persistent memory
Reduced interruption of output signal when changing instrument settings,
e.g. FM Deviation.
SMB-B5: Improved signal/noise ratio due to optimized internal levelling
SMB-B5: Phase of multiplex signal inverted, positive half waves cause lower frequency
If RF is smaller than 24MHz, unexpected external interrupts may occur, e.g. effecting
external triggered sweep or list mode
NRP-Z Power Viewer: Current frequency not updated in sensor
Unexpected blanking of RF signal when modifying FM depth
NRP-Z Level Control is not operational
Frequency setting time is extended while NRP-Z Power Viewer is active
Sometimes the SMZ multiplier is not recognized during power on. Workaround:
Power up SMB before connecting or powering the SMZ
